DAVID S. SHUTTS, OF NEW BRIGHTON, PENNSYLVANIA.

SHADE AND CURTAIN BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 18, 1908.

Application filed August 23. 1907. Serial No. 389.878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. SHUTTs, a' citizen of the United States of America, residing at New Brighton, in the county of Beaver and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade andCurtain Brackets, of which the following is a specification, reference being for the members and as a curtain shade roller bracket. At the outer end of each member I detachably secure curtain pole brackets, these brackets being dispensed with when the improvement is simply employed for holding a curtain shade roller.

The detail construction entering into my invention will be presently described, and then specifically polnted out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view-of a bracket, Fig. 2 a-rear elevation of one end of the bracket, and Fig. 3 is an edge view of a modified form of curtain pole bracket.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 and 2 designate rigid metallic strips, the end of the strip 1 being provided with a keeper 3 for re ceiving the member 2, while the end of the member 2 is provided with a similar keeper 4 for receiving the member 1. These keepers are riveted or otherwise secured to the members, and are adapted to maintain said memouter end of the casings carry curtain shade roller brackets 7, one of said brackets being slotted as at 8, while the other of said brackets is apertured, as at 9, the slot Sand aperture 9 receiving the pintles of a curtain shade roller.

The casings 5 carry upwardly extending hanger lugs 10, provided with inverted keyhole shaped openings 11, whereby the shade and curtain bracket can be suspended from the nails or screws (not shown) carried by a Window-frame or similar support.

The extreme outer ends of the members 1 and 2 carry headed lugs or pins 12 upon their rear faces, said pins or lugs being used for detachably holding curtain pole brackets 14.

These brackets may extend upwardly at an v angle to the members 1 and 2, or may extend outwardly at right angles as illustrated in Fig. 30f the drawings, therefore I do not care to confine myself to the type of curtain pole bracket which is d'etachably secured to the ends of the members 1 and 2. In order to attach the brackets 14 to the members 1 and 2, the ends of the brackets are slotted as at ment of the same.

The shade and curtain bracketin its entirety is constructed of light and durable metal and by making the same adjustable, I aim to secure a wide range of utility, p'rinci-.

pally because window-frames, curtain poles and curtain shade rollers vary in size. It is possible by my improvement to accommodate shade rollers and curtain poles of different lengths, thereby not necessitating the altering of curtain shade rollers and curtain poles, when the same do not exactly fit a windowframe.

I attach considerable importance to the detachable curtain pole brackets, as in a great many instances, lace curtains and draperies are not used when curtain shades are employed.

Such variations and modifications of my invention as are permissible by the appended claims can be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having now-described my invention what I claim as new, is

In a shade and curtain bracket, the body thereof formed of two parallel bars overlapped at one end, a keeper'carried by the inner or overlapping end of each bar and regles to the casing, and a curtain pole bracket celvlng the other bar, a rectangular .casing carried by the outer end of each of said bars. 10

slidably-rnounted on each bar and having the In testimony whereof I- afliX my signatur longitudinal edges thereof flanged to embrace in the presence of two witnesses. the bar, an upwardly-extending hanger-lug DAVID S. SHUTTS. carried by each of said casings, a shade-pole Witnesses:
